Re: lcd screens on case
Right there are a number of ways you can go about this. You can firstly use the screens that they use in car enterntainment systems

A popular option is to use one of those screens you could attach to your PSone. Altough it requires some modding

Also some people just buy small 15" or 12.5" LCD computer Screens.
To provide a signal to the screen you need a video card with either s-video or compostie video out. Some people use their main graphics card or others use a second vga card that goes in a PCI slot.

Re: lcd screens on case
how do you power them?
Re: lcd screens on case
Well I think that power would be separate from the AV, but I'd confirm with a more experienced chap!

Re: lcd screens on case
I'm kinda curious about doing this myself, I want to run a single video loop in infinite repeat on the second screen though. Any thoughts?
